The unexpected AOPADAY cinched my decision to purchase at this time. Shipping charge was almost as expensive as the product without this benefit. The product is not displayed in the catalog, but a buddy has one and it is very convenient when one has bifocals or progressive lenses, so I found it online.

High Expense, Low Utility

Your products are too expensive and many do nothing to help me to become a better pilot (such as your clothing line). I recently was gifted with a Bose A20, which needs a power adapter lead. That would have been helpful to me, but you don't offer such a product.

REPLACEMENT FLIGHT GEAR TIMER

I ordered and received in a timely manner a FLIGHT GEAR timer. This is a replacement for the identical timer I have used for several years.
Replacement was due to my dropping the timer on the tile floor.
GREAT SERVICE.

Taking too Long to Receive

The order was placed on October 21. It has not yet been received. When I checked on it, it was sent by USPS and arrived in Jacksonville a couple of days ago, and "was being transferred to another location, and the order was "Late".
